Bills signed DT Cedric Thornton, formerly of the Cowboys.

Thornton tanked as a Cowboy last year, and was let go at final cuts last weekend. Headed into his age-29 season, Thornton had been an asset against the run before last season. He could stick on the 53-man roster. Tue, Sep 5, 2017 03:35:00 PM

Signed to a four-year deal last offseason, Thornton received $9 million for his one season in Dallas. He wasn't able to channel his success from Philly. Sun, Sep 3, 2017 02:16:00 PM

Cowboys DT Cedric Thornton underwent shoulder surgery this week.

Thornton missed the final three games of the regular season, but returned for the playoffs. He should be fine for the start of OTAs. A disappointment after signing a four-year, $18 million deal in free agency, Thornton only earned a rotational run-stuffer role his first year in Dallas, mainly coming off the bench.

Cowboys agreed to terms with DL Cedric Thornton, formerly of the Eagles, on a four-year, $18 million contract.

The deal includes $6 million fully guaranteed. A run-stopping extraordinaire, Thornton was a full-time starter each of the past three years for the Eagles. He was a defensive end in Philly's 3-4, but he should replace Nick Hayden as the one-technique in the Cowboys' 4-3. Thornton is a much-needed reinforcement for a Cowboys line that's been running dangerously low on bodies this offseason. Thu, Mar 10, 2016 05:17:00 PM

The ex-Raider made it almost the entire year on the Bills' 53-man roster but caught only 13 passes in 14 games. It's disappointing considering how in flux the Bills' receiver corps was. Going on 30, Holmes' offseason outlook is uncertain. Neck injuries are the trickiest in football. Holmes is under contract in Buffalo for the next two years.

The news was announced by Jones' father, former NFL linebacker Robert Jones. According to his father, the second-round rookie played most of the season with a torn labrum. That may explain why Jones caught just 27-of-74 targets while earning PFF's No. 107 grade among wide receivers. Jones should be healthier in 2018, though he'll be working under a new offensive coordinator and may have a new quarterback as well.

Glenn spent the final five weeks on IR with lingering foot/ankle issues. There's rumblings Buffalo could move on from him, but Glenn should be healthy for the start of their offseason program. Glenn has three years and $23M remaining on his contract.
